This is one of those "the critics don't get it" movies. Sure the plot is a little contrived but it's about the comedy that it brings to the screen.
Tommy Lee Jones plays an old school Texas Ranger who is forced to play protector to some collage cheerleaders who witnessed a murder and the cheerleaders resent him because they feel like are prisoners in their own home due to his commitment to protecting them. Along the way he forces them to up their standards in the academic world as well as the dating world and they get him to loosen up around his daughter.
This was my first introduction to Cedric the Entertainer and it was kinda blah as far as introductions go. Not great, not bad, just blah.
Playing a former criminal who's turned to religion, our hero Texas Ranger uses him to get info and we find out that he was also a cheerleader back in the day. I could do with more of the "Holy Cow! It's a miracle" jokes and a lot less of the 'Dance off between him and the cheerleaders' action, but in all it's a small inconvenience to sit through for an otherwise funny movie.
There is a subplot with Tommy Lee Jones meeting a professor at the college and takes a liking too, but she's convinced that he is with the girls for selfish reasons resulting in the grocery store scene being comic gold.
